    This post is on behalf of my father who was a patient recently at this clinic…read more He had a very pleasant experience with the exam and with the Dr. who did the exam. He was very pleased with the adjustment in his eye prescription the Dr. gave him. He no longer is getting headaches from his glasses. This 1 star is to the unprofessional and ill mannered staff member who made very uncomfortable remarks to my father. When my father was done with the exam he chose his glasses and then met with a male staff member who charged him for his visit and glasses. Up until this point my father was pleased with the service, nothing above and beyond but average service. After payment he simply asked a question about their office accepting his coverage for safety glasses for his work. (We are new to this office and our other Optometry office would use his insurance to cover the cost of safety glasses for his work). And this employee stated " I don't know what fraud you were doing at your old optometrist, but we don't do that here". My father (who does not know much about medical or vision coverage, other than that he has insurance) simply asked a question. A simple "let me look into that for you" or even a "no, unfortunately we don't cover that" would have been the polite and professional response. As someone who has worked in the medical field for 8 years and has cared for patients I was extremely disappointed in that comment. I would never respond to a patient or any human being in that manner. So unprofessional. So insolent.

Despite me insisting when I made the appointment that they check that my insurance was actually accepted (and me insisting to check the Insurance name and ID number), they said it wasn't necessary as they already found me in their computer system. However, after the eye exam and when it was time to try on glasses they had me under the wrong insurance (and an insurance I am no longer on). Thus, essentially nothing was covered and I was left without new glasses. Despite my protestations, they chalked this up as "mistakes happen." However, I am a client and a patient whose time and money is just as valuable as theirs. I had to use my precious and valuable sick time to make and keep this appointment and yet I received nothing from it. I have to now take more time off and find a new optometrist and get new lenses/frames elsewhere. This could all have been avoided if they simply listened while making the appointment and checked the insurance information I had wanted to give them. While I appreciate that they gave me my updated prescription, this does not negate the careless regard to checking insurance nor does it negate the disregard afforded to me as a patient. I would highly recommend that if you do make an appointment with this place that you insist that they confirm they have your correct insurance information. I am very frustrated and disappointed by this business.

Before I went in her office, another lady took my sight level by looking through their machine that was showing a hot air balloon. I also decided to do the retina photo thing where they'll let you know the health of your eyes. The price is very reasonable which is why I came here. I wasn't planning on getting my frame or lenses here but just wanted to do my eye exam. I saw that this Costco Optical carries some Oakley frame which is the only brand I wear.

I am free from being chained to wearing daily glasses after having cataract surgery! It's been incredibly liberating for me after over 50 years in spectacles. What I do have now are a custom pair of reading glasses for low light conditions, like after-dark reading or watching videos on my phone. My optometrist created the prescription since my implant lenses are middle-to-far distance in one eye and close-to-middle in the other. Thus, off the shelf reading glasses don't work for me. My Costco pair works great! I usually don't need reading glasses when it's daylight, so I only use this pair after dark. I also have a special pair for night driving, although I don't always even have to wear them. When my eyes are tired from being on the computer too many hours, I can feel the need for those driving glasses. What's fun for me is that I can now buy just regular sunglasses; no prescription sunnies needed anymore. Even one pair of those I ordered from Costco Vision Center - I liked the lightweight frames and had them custom-made with sunglass lenses instead of corrective vision lenses. Such a deal for about $70 inclusive of frames and lenses! (Have you been to Sunglass Hut or the like for nice sunglasses lately? They are very pricey!) The staff members at this location have always been helpful and kind. The hardest part about coming here is that they are popular and sometimes there's a wait to be assisted. Otherwise, the prices are terrific and fulfillment goes pretty quickly.

I've Had my final bad experience with that staff of ladies. Ordered new eye wear frames that they advised would be what I was looking for. The test was when I received my new eyeglasses seem to fit just right until I attempted to use my eyewear that was very costly Frame with eye proscription did not measure up. My proscription is for distance and lower portion for reading. I had to lift up head to use the reading part of the RX while am working on a computer screen which gives me neck ache that can over time cause more damage. After speaking with the staff (woman) who answers the phone which could be 1 of 3 staff employees told me they would not exchange the frame and the dimensions they used were only slightly off from what I requested. The option she provides to make this horrific eyewear experience right was to just refund the amount and the manner tone she gave was firm and not pleasant and would have to come in office within 4 days. A refund was not the answer to my problem I just needed it fix and not to my expense. Other option was they can raise the reading portion of the proscription they I'll be then dealing with my distance which is a driving motor vehicle issues since I need that for distance. This is poor experience and will have to cease from this establishment/business with them if they cannot fix and order me the frame but they will not exchange the frames out in any event. Am guessing they don't care if a customer is dissatisfied even when it's not that consumer fault. Even though the web site says and I quote "We take pride in making sure our patients are fully satisfied with the services we provide" is a false statement on their part. Good luck.
